# Strong Discontent in the Farm Sector Over the Early End of Zero Export Duties

> Argentina's government announced temporary zero export duties on grains and byproducts, but the scheme ended after 72 hours when the US$7 billion quota under Decree 682/2025 was used up. Farm groups say the benefit went mainly to a small group of large exporters and left out small and medium producers.

## Why it matters

Export duty changes shift when Argentine soybeans and meal are sold abroad, which affects world meal supply and export competition. The uncertainty also affects farmer selling and domestic price formation.
